Dear
Officer
Norris, is that really your name?
Why do all you policemen
all look just the same?
With your big heavy pistols
and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
You read us our rights,
but you read them too fast
Officer
Norris, would you please kiss
my ass?
Officer
Nor ris,
Officer
Norris
Get down on your knees
Oh, ease thou, oh, ease thou
We shouldn't have tried
To go down to
Columbus,
Georgia
We was so fried
And the police, get you
If you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester
double knit
You're all right
But we only had blue jeans,
our eyes was red
Said they knew that we was awful,
all the good folks was in bed
But what do they know,
what do they know
They don't know everything
No sheets on the bed,
just a blanket of blue
If I was your mama,
I'd run out on you
Were you in
Korea and
Vietnam too, or did you learn in
college like the young police?
Do you learn how to use handcuffs, time your own breaks,
getting free cups of coffee, free
coffee cakes from middle -aged women
that's already married
middle -aged women that's
already married
Officer
Norris, is that really your name?

Officer
Norris, would you please kiss my ass
Officer
Norris,
Officer
Norris
Get down on your knees
Yeah, yeah!
That sound alright?
This is called
Christian
Lady
Talkin' on the
Bus
Because I was riding the bus up this
street one day to
Justin
Lane and the
bus didn't go that far so I got
off the bus.
Yeah something like that by the
DPS
and I was hitchhiking and this car that started
to pick me up got hit by another
car and so they got out and they started
yelling at each other and then they
started looking at me.
And it's like, man, I did,
I was just doing that, you know.
And
plus, the place I was going to, my friend's parents passed by,
and I'd never seen them
and they'd never seen me,
but they knew I was going to their son's house, because he
as a musician also.
This is a long story, anyway, this song kind of...
